Replying To CTGAA10: "One match I'm actually delighted to get out of..limerick hung in there when it just wasn't going right..Clare will probably wonder how they lost it..Kelly missed a huge goal chance that would have put it beyond limerick..
Clare probably lucky that either cleary or Lohan didn't get 2 yellows..on the other hand people will say Nicky was very lucky to escape,only thing in his favour was Duggan hadn't control of ball..definitely the rule needs to be looked at..
Limerick weren't at it for most of match and Clare produced their best performance of year..delighted by the win and really looking forward to next 2 weeks..
On another note best of luck to Shane o Donnell in whatever he does next..a superb hurler who lit up hurling for years..a gentleman and a great ambassador for the Gaa.." hard to control the ball when you are being hit in the head and tripped in the one movement ;-)

Replying To Fionn: "Continuing on from today, and some previous games, hopefully the underdogs continue to win in the closing stages of both the football and hurling championships.
It would be great to see imo.
Although I am sure those from the 2 overwhelming All Ireland favourites in both codes would disagree…!
;o)" Janey Fionn,you re getting very giddy.So if we win the semi,you hope Louth or Mayo win final?

Replying To BarneyGrant: "They have been good all year. League aside - and they used that well enough to get where they are now - the only blip was Dublin beating them in Salthill. We were not close to them in Leinster final and yesterday was more of the same.
If only they were more likeable! Promises to be a good final regardless of who wins today and that is by no means as certain either if you were to go by the pundits and punters. Could be epic encounter." A very likeable team, giving Leinster hurling people something to look forward to on all ireland final day.

Replying To Seniorleague: "True but itd be kinda annoying to wake up and see England gone. Id rather watch it happen,but im not staying up either.
Having said that an England world cup win wouldnt unduly bother me,,(ill get my coat)" Funnily id rather see them beat on penalties in the final but it would be too risky.

Watched Louth match back for my sins. Few things. Mooney did well enough or as good as he could given the circumstances being thrown in like that. He definitely wasnt the winning and losing of the game overall. Gallaghers loss was bigger for Monaghan arguably as it robbed mccarville of his wingman on kickouts. The match was lost in the first half and monaghans inability to take advantage of the red card it kept louth in it and they grew from it the two pointer to end the half a huge moment. I dont think any of the other teams left in the championship would have shown louth as much mercy as we did in that period. We actually played well in the second half bar the last few minutes when the team faded in face of louth surge. Ciaran Byrne was a massive sub for them. There was also a crucial period after the goal when we didnt push on some bad wides which might have seen enough but louth timed their finishing kick well. Devlin played his cards better but it was that first half lack of response to red card which killed us in this one. Louth outscored us in that period 12 pts to 1-03. That was the winning and losing.

Hell of a result for Ireland in Australia. 31 - 33.
Despite our massive injury list.
Great comeback by our lads.
That is our 6th win in a row over the Aussies.
Next up for us is Japan on Sat.

Replying To Gaa_lover: "No particular reason. Narrative is Joyce has done 7 years and that's how Galway did in the previous 7 years up to oneself on how you judge it." A fair bit of revisionism there.
Galway (and connacht football) was poor from 2002 to 2010.
Mayo rose substantially in 2011 and left Galway behind -2013 being the extreme.
Sean Walsh came in and knocked Mayo off their Connacht perch in 2016 with a defensive style of play suited to beating Mayo which didnt work in Croke Park.
After 2019, Galway football were sick of Washes style of play and PJ arrived promising a glorious brand of attacking football, only for Mayo to wipe the floor with them in a pre covid league match.
During the covid break, PJ realised gaelic football, as it was then, required either a defense of all star man markers (like Dublin and Mayo) or a set of sweepers.
He went down rhe defensive (and cynical) route, which got success, to the point where he reached a final in 2024. A championship that was so bad, and defensive football having consumed the game, forced the GAA to change the rules completely.
We now have a different game (designed by the Mayo, Kerry and Dublin managers from the 2010's - the 3 men who had played attacking football in that time), which requires attacking play and punishes defensive and cynical play.
PJ's problem is he failed to see the opportunity in the new rules and didnt try the attacking football he once professed to love.
He also has a backroom team of managers, not elite level coaches. The team doesnt look well coached as a result.

Mexico by far the better team in the second half albeit they had an extra man. Pity they couldn't take one of those chances. I suppose now we all turn in Norway supporters

Replying To Viking66: "Only 8 years ago" 8 years ago Galway were reckoned to be the best team in the country, and Limerick were the upstarts with smart money saying it was too soon for that team to win an AI
Roles have now reversed
Galway have a nice blend with plenty of young players and a handful who have done it all
Like Tipp last year
One thing for sure is Limerick will give them nothing easy

Not starting a topic on the minor championship, big well done to Cork on their win. Munster teams definitely are Tyrone's Achilles heel this year.

Replying To Sportsfanatic90: "Club championship 4 weeks away.
Predictions?
Senior: Corrofin runners up moycullen, is Dessie gone abroad? Relegated caltra, not a good league, lowest ranked senior team
Intermediate: st micheals runners up caherlistrane.
Relegated clifden or carraroe
Junior 1: headford, runners up carna
Any big club news?" Hard to judge much on the league campaigns with all the inter county lads to come back in, few playing in USA as well. Claregalway looked good early doors in the league but im not convinced they pose a threat on the championship, they lack aerial presence in the middle, likely Q finalists, are Goldrick and Rohan still away? Grainger is in Boston. Be interesting to see the likes of how Salthill line out, few lads away like Sweeney and Tomo, Same with Moycullen, not sure where they are at, Davoren, Conneely, Cooke unavailable as it stands and now Sean Kelly injured. I think we could see a big change with Corofins average age this year with a lot of the younger lads like Joyce, Coen and Gill being injected, we need to see where Paddy Egan is at. I feel Tuam Stars have now come of age and have power all over the pitch, back to back Div 1's, Conor Heneghen is definitely one to watch as is Mcglinchy of course if fit. Dunmore looked impressive in Div 2 and won it out quiet comfortably without a number of 1st team regulars so they must have added some depth, Brendan Carr is away I've heard and Colm Costello obviously one to watch there. St James, Killannin and possibly Litir Mor also have the players to cause an upset to the top 4, Dylan Seoige is playing some great stuff. Can only see Milltown, Mountbellew/M or Oughterard as preliminary Q Final hopefuls and not much further. Bearna, Monivea-Abbey and Annaghdown(without Comer) will struggle.
Predictions:
Senior
Winners: Tuam Stars
Runners Up: Moycullen or Corofin
Dark Horse: Dunmore McHales
Drop: Caltra
Intermediate
Winners: St Michaels
Runners Oranmore or Caherlistrane
Dark Horse: An Spideal
Drop: Menlough or Aran
Primary Junior
Winners: Headford
Runners Up: Killererin
Dark Horse: Carna Cashel
Primary Junior 2
Winners: Annaghdown
Runners Up: Tuam Stars
Dark Horse: Oranmore
